The Senate Races T here are certain important p hases of the comin g presi- dential contest tha i have been obscured b y all the who^p-de- doo o\ ei choosing the top candidates , and the tremendous amount of attention that has , quite naturall y, been centered on the view-; and personalities and back grounds of General Eisen- hower ai.u Governor Stevenson. One of these p hases is the battle for contiol of the Sena te. The Republicans now hold 46 of the Senate seats , and the Democrats 50. The catch , from the Republican point of view , is Hiat 20 of their seats are in contest this coming Novem- ber as a gai nst onl y 15 for the Democrats. It is generall y con- sidered that five of these latter seats are too firml y held to offer tlie COP a cliance. So , if they are to gain a majority, the Re- publicans must take three of the other nine and hold all the seats they now have. Thus , a great deal of hard work will be done at the state level in an effort to put the whole ticket over. The hope is that the Eisenhower campaign will gather so much momentum , and that the personal and political appeal of the Ceneral will be so great, that he will be able to carry even re- lativel y weak Senatorial candidates with him. The Democrats , of course, hope exactl y the same tiling for Governor Stevenson , it would seem that both parties have done a pretty good fob in bridging the rifts that developed at the conventions. It ' s quite a trick, f or instance , to reconcile such divergent figures as Deiuo' .Tats fi yrd and Lehman on the one side , and Republi- cans McCarth y and Morse on the other. The Democrats have suffered the ntost from defections — for the first time in many a moon tlie Republicans have a chance to break the Soli d South and pick up some electoral votes there. However , it is proba- ble that as time rolls on more and more of the holdouts will return to their respective folds. A good many political writers think that the Democrats are working on one issue which could very easil y backfire. This i% the argument that Coventor Stevenson has the requisite ex- perience for the presidency, b y virtue of his stewardship in Illi- nois , an-J tliat Ceneral Eisenhower has not , b y virtue of the fact that he spent his life in the Army. Davi d Lawrence answer- ed this ut U. S. News & World Report when he wrote , '' Today the head of a vast military establishment does not himself lead troops in the field — he has field commanders for that pur- pose. . . . His task is p lanning and over-all administration. . . . He must know how to pick capable subordinates and how to delegate responsibility. . . . \In an inter-allied operation such as was called for in the invasion of the continent of Europe , it was necessary for the eon una nd-jr-m chief of allied forces to be a dip lomat , a kind of secretary of state abroad. . . . \ Mr. Lawrence elaborated on tni« in some detail , ' and said that Ceneral Eisenhower ' s experi- ence is exactl y what the counjry needs , especiall y in an emer- gency. Many an influential commentator holds that view. £ * V VC************** ****************^**^ *********** »**%%»^ The Ever-Lengthenin g Shadow Fisca l yea r ending June 30. 1929 Federal expenditures were less t han two thirds of total income payments to individuals in California. Fiscal year ending June 30 , 1939 f ederal expenditures were eaual to total income payments to all individuals in the Pacific and Mountain states as well as in Norsk Dakota , South Dakota , and 41 percent of Nebraska. O 1953 , By The Flrtt National Bank ol Botrton. Fiscal year ending June 30 , 1953 Estimated Federal expenditures lor the fiscal year cndfnt Jane 30. 1953 , equal estimated total income payments to all Individuals west of the Mississippi River, and in addition , all of the Income to individuals in Mississippi and 53 percen t of the Income of Alabama. Total state and local expenditures of the entire country are shown in the cross-hatched area. The tuo shaded areas account for 9S percent of the nation ' s crude petroleum production , SS p ercent of the lumber output. 70 percent of the total talue of mineral pro- ' duction, and 71 percent of the total value of all farm crop production The tidal drift toward bi$r government and the centralization of power is indicated by the sharply increasing Federal drain on national in- come over the last two decades. Federal ex- penditure- - for the tiscal year r. '2. ' amounted to less than the total income payments of Cali- fornia ' s inhabitants , as is shown by the accom- panying: chart. In the fiscal year 1939. these expenditures wore equal to the individual income of the Paoiric and Mountain regions , together with that of North Dakota and South Dakota , and 42 per cent of Nebraska. For the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1953. estimated Fed- era l expenditures will take the equivalent of estimated income payments of all people west of the Mississi ppi River and in addition all in- come payments of the inhabitants of Mississippi and 55 per cent of those of Alabama. The foregoing data cover only Federal ex- penditures. If tota l state and local expenditures were added, the area would be extended to in- clude the remaining portion of Alabama , all of the individual income of the people of Kentucky, Tennessee , Georgia , Florida , and South Carolina , and three-fourths of the individual income pay- ments to inhabitants of North Carolina. This is shown in the blackened and cross-hatched areas of the bottom chart. These two areas account for 47 per cent of the nation ' s population, 83 per cent of the land area , 95 per cent of total crude petroleum production , S5 per cent of the lumber output , 70 per cent of the total value of minera l produc- tion , and 71 per cent of the tota l value of all farm crop production. Income payments to individuals represent total income received from all sources by ^ resi- dents of each state. According to the United States Department of Commerce , it includes \ . . . income received by individuals in the form of wages and salaries , net income of proprietors (including farmers), dividends , interest , net rents , and other items such as social insurance benefits , relief , veterans ' pensions and benefits , and allotment payments to dependents of mili- tary personnel. \ Total estimated government expenditures— Federal , state , and local—for the current fiscal year will be equivalent to the total wages and salaries of 75 per cent of the number employed in non-government pursuits in this country. Ex- pressed in another way, these governmental ex- penditures approximate the total national in- come of Argentina , Belgium , Brazil . Denmark , France , Greece , Italy, the Netherlands , Norway, Portugal , Sweden , Switzerland , and the United Kingdom , whose combined population aggregates more than 257 million persons. The Federal gov- ernment , alone , will spend in the current riscal year more than was spent from 1789 through 1925 , a period of 136 years. In outlays for both defense and non-defense there is a staggering amount of waste , as has been revealed by outstanding fiscal authorities of both major political parties. But this is evi- denced in even a casual inspection of Govern- ment data. Non-defense expenditures have in- creased from $7.7 billion in the fisca l year 1939 to an estimated $34.2 billion for the current fiscal year. This represents nearly a four and one-half fold increase during the period. For the current fiscal year , Federal expenditures for non-defense items alone will be nearly as much as was spent for all purposes during the entire decade of the 1920' s. Some indication of the extent of waste may be found in the Federa l personnel records. The number of civilian workers in the executive branch of the Federal government has in- creased by 339 per cent in the last two decades. This is more than eleven times the rate of in- crease in non-government employ- ment during the period. A sprawl- ing and mushrooming bureaucracy has been created that imposes a staggering burden on the tax- payer. But these public servants have also become the most power- ful lobbyists for the spending of public money for all kinds of proj- ects at a time when our Federal finances are in the danger zone. For two decades the govern- ment has been playing the role of benefactor to the American peo- ple , who apparentl y are enjoying the ride on the \ gravy wagon , \ financed by their own money. Too often the money is distributed to powerful pressure groups in re- turn for political support. It would appear that American wel- fare has been placed on the po- litical auction block to be sold to the highest bidder. But these \ gifts \ in reality are false and hollow , as the Federal government has no magic source of income but collects tax money from all pa rts of the country and distri- butes it again through its mani- fold spending channels. New England' s share of esti- mated Federal expenses for the current yea r will be around $6.5 billion. This is more than was paid in Federal taxes by all of the people ia the entire country in 1940. Thc Federal tax load per New England household averages around $2 , 000 this year , as against $168 per household in 1929 . Federal expenditures in a given region are not in the same pro- portion as revenues received from that region. In som e areas of the South and West , Federal expendi- tures exceed receipts. In New England , however , there has been a heavy net outflow aggregating around $11 billion for the period 1929-1951. Many states arc opposed to Federal subsidies and would much prefer to finance their own ac- tivities but feel compelled to dip into the \ grab bag \ in order to get back a larger part of the money contributed by their own citizens. This practice is not only demoralizing but also it is mak- ing state and local governments the vassals of the Federal govern- ment , thereby threatening the ex- istence of self government. The irony of it all is that the more the government takes in taxes from the people , thc more it extends control over them. Through red tape , regulations, re- strictions , and government invas- ion of private enterprise , indi- vidual freedom gradually fades into the background until event- ually there emerges thc all-power- ful state. The tragic experience ot the Fascist countries] should be a stark warning to us of the dan- gerous course plotted by those who are so anxious to rebuild our ¦ society. We should make note of danger signals and attempt to realize m what direction we are going. We should not be lulled into a false sense of security by glittering generalities that may lead us toward the same treacher- ous reefs that wrecked Germany and Italy, and are now threaten- ing Great Britain and Argentina . It should be obvious upon sober reflection that this nation has em- barked upon a reckless and dan- gerous course that is dissipating our resources , undermining the wealth-creating powers of the People , and siphoning the seed money that should be ploughed back into business for tools and equipment in order to increase our productivity and keep our eco- Son \ * \ tr ° n * * nd hCaIthy The issue before us rises far above party politics and involves in its scope the salvation of this nation, fh!

Both of these men wei t t.x«.ellcnt public officials and prominent civic leaders. We salute the staff , for it is men , real men , who have made the Patcnoguc postoffice the fine institution it is. It ' s not enoug h to liave a fine Duiidmg, which we have. You need a good crew , aiid that wo also have. The result has been a postoffice which has won acctaim far and wide for its courteous treatment of cus tMiiiei s dtia lhe efficiency with which it handles an ever- increosii.g burden . One tlung we like especiall y about our local postoffice is the \ service with a smile \ treatment everyone gets. The boys seem tt, enjoy thei r work. They get along together. And the public is the beneficiary. A iot or water has gone under the brid ge since Nathan Mulford , Palcnogue s firs t postmaster , met his first circuit rider back iu 1602. Palcliugue has grown from a tiny hamlet to a thriv- ing n»eUo|>oli:». And the posto ffice has grown with it. It makes a fasciii uiiifj story and we thi nk you 'd enjoy reading about it in the aittoctiv e booklet whi ch the staff has put out for the anni- versary. \' oa un p.ck one up at the postoffice tonight or tomor- row ni g ht uuung lhe open house celebrations , and we think you 'd also enjoy seeing the wurkings of th* postoffice ' s \back room \ at the same time. \V e ' u hste to pay special tribute to our present postmaster , Josep h W. Harrison , who has been a real hustler since taking over in 1947. Wh«il \ s more he has found time to be a civic leader , a field in which many of his staff are also engaged. These men arc a ciedit lo tlie federal service and thus to the nation.
